Hm, well there's definatly no "this is best" or anything.
My last capture looked always ugly when using that abovementioned script. I had to use Vdub filters, but that resulted in a very nice encdoing:
1. Null transform (Cropping the video)
2. dynamic noise remover (treshold 20(!))
3. Smoother (no prefilter, treshold 7)
4. bilinear resize 512x288
5. brightness/contrast (+0%, 75%)
To my surprise there were many details left after this filter chain, except those which had much noise in them.
This was a movie from the 70s btw., so the source material wasn't just noisy through the TV but very much from the celluloid.
If you don't see any deinterlace here it's due to the fact that the movie was progressive! Still unbelievable for me somehow, but sometimes you're really lucky when capturing movies
In my oppinion even my video2000 tape of the same movie (back from my childhood) looked worse than this encode.
Amazing.
